To be able maintain faith in a secular age may be equivalent to the ascetic feats of saints from bygone eras.
Trust in God, even when you don’t fully understand what he is doing.
It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God, so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Verses this concept.
An authoritarian pastor can create a near-cultist atmosphere.Most Zionists sermons center on sin and hell. Over the decades, churches have played on many fears, You`ll never get to Heaven if you..
When I go to a new church, the more its members resemble each other, and resemble me,Well honestly..
(NO yet enter Church where people resemble Kevin W). the more uncomfortable I feel.
l keep exploring simple question, most days Does Kevin W.
Honestly represent Jesus through my acts of service,displays of love,
Have l encouraged others to demonstrate unity in the Tribe.
Exclusion by Fear, keeping subtly others outside,lack of honest debate, is what many recognise as Authoritarian, rigid, lack of participation . may also witness some of these .Honour Israel, ignore Palestine conflicts, these Toxic teachings are evident.
Bit of Paulision advice..
“I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.”
Important to know which theological ,ethical delimas to emphasis, the ones to minimise. Hostility over minor disagreements, is a serious threat to people accepting teaching example and being in a relationship with Jesus as Lord,church unity.
